Arrange tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels. Top with more paper towels and another baking sheet; weight with canned goods. Let tofu drain, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook broccoli (stalks and florets) in a large pot of boiling salted water until bright green, 2 minutes. Drain; set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl whisk together 1 tbsp grape seed oil, tumeric, sea salt to taste and red chili powder. Then add drained tofu to bowl and coat each piece with mixture

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add tofu; cook until golden brown on each side, turning gently. Transfer to a bowl once browned.

Meanwhile, make sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, red-pepper flakes, garlic, cornstarch, and 3/4 cup water; set aside.

Add broccoli to skillet; cook over high heat, stirring often, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

This a quick and easy recipe to prepare. It’s full of veggies that are high in antioxidants because of the bright colors. Red peppers and yellow peppers improve immune function as well and protect against sun damage.

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1/3 cup smooth organic all natural peanut butter

1/3 cup broth (or just plain water if you don’t have broth)

2 tbsp hot chili garlic sauce (if you don’t have this, then you can add more garlic and some red chili powder)

1 clove garlic

1/4 tsp red chili powder

1 package of extra firm tofu diced in cubes (you can substitute this for chicken for those who eat meat)

1 red pepper thinly sliced

1/2 orange pepper sliced

4 cups baby spinach

1 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp Bragg’s liquid amino’s (or soy sauce)

1/4 tsp tumeric

sea salt to taste

Directions

In a small bowl add Bragg’s aminos, tumeric, red chili powder and mix together. Add tofu to the bowl and coat it with the mixture.

Miso is a fermented soy product. Fermented soy helps to build up beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract that can help with digestion and help to assimilate nutrients into the body. They also help to boost immunity. Another example of fermented soy is tempeh which was featured in the brown rice pasta recipe. Eating small amounts of these foods also help to protect against cancer.

Allow water in the bowl to cool a bit and add the miso, mixing it into the water (the water should be cooled to a temperature of 105 degrees or lower so the beneficial microflora and enzymes in the miso remain in tact).

Turn off heat, allowing the remaining water in the saucepan to also cool to 105 degrees or below. When it has cooled, add the miso broth to the soup in the saucepan
